" I never used to drink tea unless I was sick and my mom made it for me with a ton of milk, sugar, and honey (I have a sweet tooth...can you tell?). But recently I&amp;#039;ve been drinking cups and cups of tea for a few reasons.  I know how important it is to keep hydrated in the summer and I hate, hate, hate drinking plain water. It&amp;#039;s really like a chore to me. Rest assured that if you ever see me toting a water bottle it&amp;#039;s because I feel like I have to, not because I want to. Also, I just kicked a diet coke addiction so I&amp;#039;ve been thirsting for something flavorful but not bubbly, not caffeinated, and not chock full of artificial sweeteners. I really wondered to myself what I could possibly drink that&amp;#039;s just as healthy as water but not so...boooring. That&amp;#039;s where tea comes in!  First I started with plain old Lipton decaf tea which is great and kind of takes me back to my childhood. But then I started to experiment with other flavors and brands of tea. In the beginning I was so overwhelmed in the tea section of my grocery store. Apparently, there&amp;#039;s this whole world of tea that I did not know about. I stocked up on a few boxes and found some really yummy ones (and not-so-yummy ones, but I won&amp;#039;t talk about those). My absolute favorites right now are mint tea, chamomile tea (so soothing and relaxing to drink before bedtime!) and french vanilla tea. I feel so weird going on and on about my new tea obsession (something about tea is kind of old-ladyish...to me at least!), but seriously folks, tea is very cool. Drink up! Do you girls like tea? Which ones are your favs? Love, Jill, exec. asst. to the editor-in-chief "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
